The focus on this research is the use of translation strategies to translate robotics terms in Big Hero 6 – Hiro to the Rescue novel. The aim is to find out what strategies the translator mostly uses to translate robotics terms that can be found in the novel from English to Indonesian. This research uses qualitative method where the result of research with this method is strongly influenced by the views, thoughts, and knowledge possessed by the writer. Through the research, from seventeen translation strategies, the translator uses nine translation strategies to translate robotics terms in the novel. Those translation strategies are: (1) transference (79,1%), (2) reduction (27%), (3) paraphrase (16,6%), (4) shifting (16,6%), (5) synonymy (10,4%), (6) expansion (8,3%), (7) functional equivalent (4,1%), (8) naturalization (4,1%), and lastly (9) descriptive equivalent (2%). However, there are only four translation strategies that are mostly used by the translator, and those are transference with the total of thirty-eight times of use, reduction with the total of thirteen times of used, and the last are paraphrase and shifting with the total of eight times of use each.
